WESTLAKE showcased its latest Gen II truck tyres at IAA Transportation 2026, together with Interpneu and Pneuhage Fleet Solution.
New Products at IAA Transportation 2026
At Hall 12, Booth B66, WESTLAKE presented four new products: the WSL2 steer tyre, WDL+2 drive tyre, WTL2 wide-base trailer tyre and WTR PRO trailer tyre, highlighting their lower rolling resistance and higher mileage performance
Throughout the IAA Transportation 2026, the WESTLAKE team had the opportunity to meet with fleet customers, distributors and industry partners to discuss tyre performance, operating efficiency and evolving fleet needs. “Strong Service. Strong Network.” was the booth’s theme, reflecting the brand’s focus on working closely with customers and partners to deliver improved service support across Europe.
A major focus of the display was WESTLAKE’s Long Run range, comprising the WSL2, WDL2+ and WTL2 for steer, drive and trailer axle positions in long-haul operations.
WSL2 and WDL2+ achieved EU Tyre Label Class A for rolling resistance, and feature stable handling, high mileage, traction and efficiency, while the WTL2 wide-base trailer tyre focuses on fuel efficiency, stability and wet-road performance.
WESTLAKE also presented the WTR PRO trailer tyre, featuring a wider tread, higher pattern saturation and a wear-resistant tread compound to support longer mileage and more even wear.
Leo Liao, General Manager of ZC Rubber Europe said: “IAA Transportation is always an important opportunity for us to meet customers and partners across Europe and understand what is changing in their daily operations. This year, many of the conversations came back to the same priorities: fuel efficiency, mileage and operating costs. Our new Long Run and PRO products are developed around these needs, with each range focusing on different priorities while still delivering balanced overall performance. We will continue working with our partners to strengthen the WESTLAKE offering in Europe.”
Robin Brucke, Head of Commercial Product Group Management at Pneuhage Management GmbH & Co. KG, said: “For fleets, tyre performance is the foundation of efficient operation, but long-term value also depends on availability, service and a reliable network behind the product. Our cooperation with ZC Rubber and WESTLAKE has developed over many years, with products and services evolving together around the needs of the market. The new Gen II range continues that journey and gives us a strong platform to support fleets across Europe.”
WESTLAKE also displayed selected Gen II commercial tyres and presented its “Our Green Way” approach, giving visitors a broader view of the brand’s commercial tyre portfolio and its focus on efficiency and more sustainable transport.
